Beavers work hard on their homes to survive
Building river dams can help wildlife thrive
Wide tails help balance when carrying a heavy log
Also as a rudder when swimming in thick fog
Slamming tails on water is warning of attacks
No doubt there’s no time for the beavers to relax
The very young are taught to swim on their backs
All of this, my friends, is giving you beaver facts
